IMHO though we haven't really had blood in the streets since Oct of 87.

Before my time (investing wise), but I agree. 1929 was another bad one. It took 20 years to recover to pre-crash levels. That's something to think about when allocating your portfolio between stocks, bonds and cash.

Right now I'm split mostly between BRK (just started accumulating), international MFs, short/long funds, and just bought a value fund (gasp!) No, not the traditional p/e value measures, though. More of a growth/value hybrid. Also trading some options. Some of those "old" economy options are really cheap! Made 4k in 2 days on KO April 50 calls this week. FTN 20s are also really cheap. Not usually a trader, but the volatility and low premiums call for it.

This market is giving me weird vibes (not very scientific but gotta go with the gut). Must be that darn A. Cohen that's giving me indigestion. Prob. won't have another crash until the boomers are all out of the market. The longer we wait, though, the worse it will be. It seems to be a question of when.
